About

Yuuki Konno is the deuteragonist of the Mother's Rosario arc in Sword Art Online. Born with HIV due to a medical accident, she became a long-term patient and eventually a tester for the Medicuboid, a medical FullDive device. Despite her terminal illness, Yuuki became a legendary player in virtual reality games, known as "Absolute Sword" in ALfheim Online (ALO).

As the leader of the Sleeping Knights guild, a group of terminally ill patients, Yuuki sought to leave a lasting legacy in the virtual world. Her encounter with Asuna Yuuki in ALO led to a deep friendship and a poignant exploration of life, death, and the impact one can have on others. Yuuki's journey represents the power of virtual worlds to connect people and provide meaningful experiences, even in the face of physical limitations.
